Sintesi	The intergenerational elasticity of income (IGE) is the workhorse measure of economic mobility: the regression coefficient from regressing a child's adult log income on the parent's log income. It expresses the percentage by which a child's expected income rises for each one-percent increase in parental income, so a higher IGE means income advantages and disadvantages are more strongly transmitted across generations and society is less mobile.	Log-linear mobility models analyze an origin-by-destination mobility table by modeling the logarithm of its expected cell counts as a sum of terms: separate effects for the origin and destination marginals plus interaction terms that capture the origin–destination association. By specifying that association parametrically — through diagonal, level, or scaled terms — these models test precise hypotheses about the structure of social fluidity independent of the changing sizes of classes.
